As the story goes, Bruno Kammerl built the world’s largest waterslide. This video shows his successful, and awe inspiring, test run.

Of course, the moment anything this spectacular hits the internet people speculate about its authenticity. Call me naive, but I’d love to believe that something this brilliant could happen.

I know it’s a longshot, but if you knew enough about science it might just work. And besides, I am willing to concede it may not be the first try. Although I’d hate to think of anyone suffering failed attempts at this feat.

Either way, going down the slide must have been fantastic fun, even if he didn’t really land in the pool at the end!
